This invention relates to the manufacture of glassware, and it has particular relation to the production of blown glassware by the' system -in which blanks or parisons are formed in blank molds, are transferred to' for blowing glassware, wherein a pl urality' of machine sections are fed with mold: charges from a single feeding source and wherein each section lncludes a pair of molds,

consistingof a'blank mold and a blow mold;

or finishing mold. Each pair of molds is mounted and operated independently of the 1 other pairs of molds, and the blank molds are fixed permanently at y the charge-receiving stations. I

Another object of the invention is to provide a machine comprising a plurality of independently operating sections of the above indicated character, in which theduration of the operations performed upon the glass in each of the molds of each pair may be varied within wide limits determined by the operation of the molds concurrently as one extreme and the operation thereof successively as the other extreme, independently of the -other sections, of -"the machine, and in which the various operations performed by each section may also be varied-with respect to one another so as to cause each individual section to suit the needs of the particular kind of ware that is made by that section.

A further object of the invention is to provide a method and apparatus for blowing glassware in which improved temperature control is secured" by utilizing relatively heavy molds. I accomplish this result by as is the usual practice.

A still further object of the invention is to provide an apparatus for blowing glassware in which the molds and the parts cooperatingv therewith are mounted rigidly, solidly and -with a minimum number of moving parts,

thereby resulting in proper registration and cooperation between the engagingparts of the apparatus. 1

A still further object of the invention is to provide a system for blowing glassware in which the molds are capable ofproducing a larger quantity of ware than can be produced in ordinary machines of the rotary type, thereby reducing the number of molds required for a given output, or increasing the output for a given number of molds.

A still further object of the invention is to provide apparatus of the character described, embodying a plurality of individual glass shaping machines or sections, each having a delivery trough mechanism which is adapted to successively deliver mold charges thereto in timed sequence from a single glass feeding device.

A still further object of the invention is to provide an apparatus of the character described, embodying a blowing device for initially delivering to the blank or parison successive puffs of varying duration and volume, separated by intervals of suction or subatmospheric pressure, in order to impart to the parison a preliminary configuration which will tend to produce ware having a uniform wall thickness, when completely blown.

A still further object of the invention is to provide an apparatus of the character set a forth, embodying a simple and eflicient takeout device for removing the ware from the finishing molds and delivering it at a desired location, such as upon a conveyor mechanism or to a leer, and which may be easily adjusted to operate between different levels.

A still further object of the inventionis to provide a machine of the character described, in which the blanks or parisons are transferred from a blank forming station to'a finish blowing station by means oscillating between these stations andoffset with respect to its axis of swinging movement, with the longitudinal axis of the blank disposed sub-' stantially tangentially to the are described by the center of gravity of the blank, thereby to a great extentcounteracting the tendency for centrifugal action to throw or dis-
